you know, the ting that makes jim demint a great leader is the same thing that has always made people like matt spalding and the heritage foundation itself so very valuable; that is, your shared insistence on making the positive case for conservativism, what conservatives are for. in washington it's common for both parties to succumb to easy negativity. republicans and democrats stand opposed to each other, obviously, and outspoken partisanship almost always gets the most headlines. this negativity is unappealing on pote sides, and that helps explain why the federal government is increasingly held in such low regard by the american people. but for the left the defensive crouch at least makes sense. liberalism's main purpose today is to defend itself past gains -- its past gains from conservative reform. but megativity on the right, to my mind, makes no sense at all. the left has created this false narrative that liberals are for things, and conservatives are against things. when we concede this narrative even just implicitly, we concede the debate before that debate even begins. and y

thank you will have. >> jim raises a valid point. there was a tinkering once before with cay song, but this seems much more determined in terms of what north korea has done. it presumably harms their desire for generating a certain amount of currency earnings and so forth. i think add to this even if forsake of argument that north korea decides that they decide to reopen the conflicts, and it wouldn't surprise me at all that that kind of an initiative is made particularly after the u.s./rok exercises wind down. whether or not south korean businesses will see, will have enough confidence that they would wish to reopen it under those circumstances, it seems to me, is an open question. and that's something, frankly, that the administration is going to have to contemplate. that, that said, it does seem to me that, you know, we all try to understand who's making the decisions, and in the absence of other evidence to the contrary, i would have to say that it is, indeed, kim john unand a small -- kim jong un and a small circle around him. i
